The hits keep on streaming. On the heels of LG's expanded partnership with Netflix, Amazon revealed its On Demand service will be Roku's first partner beyond Netflix. Amazon will make its titles available on the Roku box early in 2009.

I know someone who has Roku...

A friend of mine absolutely loves Roku and it's nice to know that Amazon is going beyond Netflix (which is a very good service to begin with, but having more options is always nice). Here is a review:

On a related note, I have also come across a quick table to locate discounted items on Amazon across different categories, including video related stuff:
